than has the forestry service. From
a handful of scattered and untrained
rangers, perfunctorily patroling wide
stretches of forest. It has grown to
a business-like, well-directed and
well-admlnlstered arm of the gov
ernment In Its effort to preserve the
forests of the country for future
generations. Still the service Is
hampered by lack of men. In tbe
vast area reaching from Buck lake
on the south to the ITmpqua divide
on the north and In some places
over 40 miles In width, many of
those miles being on edge, there are
but 11 men, including the office
force at the headquarters In Med
ford. The office force of tbe for
est service, however. Is different
from the ordinary office force. Inas
much as every one Is capable of tak
ing the field at any time and render
ing a good account of himself.
In the headquarters office at Med
ford everything Is carried on In the
most approved business nty'.e. There
are filing cabinets for every kind of
report, application, complaint or
claim that comes to the office, and
be It known the number Is not small.

all kinds for the men In the field, for

lake to Little Klk prairie and is
eight miles long. Besides ranger
cabins have been constructed at Big
Klk and Seven-Mile and one at
Brown's cabins, on the Upper Kogue
river, will be finished this season. A
commodious pasture for the accom
modation of the rangers and also of
the traveling public has been In
closed at Lake o the Woods.

Thj forest service has been of con
siderable benefit to the "chool fund
of Jackson county during the past
two years, under the provision al

county to be turned over to the
school fund. Each of the past two
years $SO0 has been received by the
county from this source, and this
year the percentage has been raised
to 25 per cent, which will make the
quota for this county at least $2000. j
It will very likely be much more this.
